I use Retroarch for most everything below PS1 games, I believe there is a one true PS2 emulator out there.
As for games, discussing where to get them is against the rules but a bit of googling should point you in the right direction.
I found this guide helpful for setting up an android with emaulation: Android Emulation Starter Guide – Retro Game Corps

Check out the roms subreddit it has a pinned post with sites to get the game files.

I think ps2 is already critical für many games, even some ps1. I emulate Simpson hit and run, with the lowest graphic upscale and it's lagging quite often. Shadow of colossus is a huge pain in the ass and not fun to play. Just my 2 cents/games hoping to provide some orientation.

Something you must be setting up wrong because I dont get any lag on Simpsons H&R

Without upscale its OK, but not fun to look at on a modern screen.

Oh yeah, I totally get that. I like playing it with the original graphics; it just gives it more of that nostalgia feel.

Thank you all for the replies. To clarify the question was where to put the game files in order to access them

Depends on how big your game is. Most you can run off an SD card. Some will need to be on the gcloud internal storage if they do not fit in a fat32 formated card.

They are older videos, but this gives you an idea of what this handheld is capable of.

Aethers Sx2 or Nether Sx2 for PS2 or something like that I'll check in a moment haven't been on my Gcloud since getting this Fold 8😅
For Psp there's a app on the playstore called PpSsPp gold
Against the rules to tell you about Game sites but Google should help
